PUBLIC NOTICE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 445 12th STREET S.W. WASHINGTON D.C. 20554 News media information 202-418-0500 Fax-On-Demand 202-418-2830; Internet: http://www.fcc.gov (or ftp.fcc.gov) TTY (202) 418-2555 Report No. SAT-00269 Friday February 4, 2005 POLICY BRANCH INFORMATION Satellite Space Applications Accepted for Filing The applications listed below have been found, upon initial review, to be acceptable for filing. The Commission reserves the right to return any of the applications if, upon further examination, it is determined the application is not in conformance with the Commission's rules or its policies. Consideration of each satellite application in this Public Notice may depend on the Commission's action on another satellite application earlier in the queue. Petitions, oppositions and other pleadings filed in response to this notice should conform to Section 25.154 of the Commission's rules, unless otherwise noted. 47 C.F.R. § 25.154. SAT-MOD-20050110-00004 E S2651 ICO Satellite Services G.P. Date Filed: 01/10/2005 19:34:19:46600 Modification ICO Satellite Services, G.P. has filed an application for modification of its authorization to access the United States market using its 2 GHz non-geostationary (NGSO) Mobile Satellite Service satellite system. (See File Nos. SAT-LOI-19970926-00163, SAT-AMD-20000612-00107 and SAT-AMD-20001103-00155.) ICO seeks to modify the authorization to substitute a single geostationary satellite for the NGSO system. ICO proposes to operate the GSO satellite at 91º W.L. to provide domestic MSS services to the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. ICO will use the portion of the 2000-2020 MHz uplink and 2180-2200 MHz downlink bands available to it under ICO's original LOI authorization for links between the satellite and the user terminals. ICO requests authority to oeprate feeder links and tracking, telemetry and control (TT&C) functions for its GSO MSS system within the Ka-band frequency band (29.25-30.00 GHz uplink and 18.55-18.8 and 19.7-20.2 GHz downlink). ICO seeks authority to conduct limited TT&C operations in the C-band, during transfer orbit and in the event of spacecraft emergencies and seeks a waiver of the Commission's rules to permit this limited use of C-band frequencies. ICO requests a waiver of the Commission's rules requiring that GSO satellites be maintained in longitude within +/- 0.05º of its nominal orbital location for all latitudes within +/- 0.05º of the equator. In addition, ICO requests a waiver of the satellite launch milestone deadline applicable to 2 GHz MSS GSO systems. SAT-PDR-20050110-00024 P ICO Satellite Services G.P. Date Filed: 01/10/2005 00:00:00:00000 Petition for Declaratory Ruling ICO Satellites Services G.P. has filed a Petition for Declaratory Ruling or, Alternatively, For a Waiver requesting the Commission approve the milestone certification contained in its Petition. ICO requests the Commission rule that ICO has met the fourth milestone condition of its letter of intent authorization (see File No. SAT-LOI-19970926-00163) by launching two non-geostationary orbit satellites in its 2 GHz mobile satellite service system. Alternatively, ICO requests a waiver of the satellite launch milestone if the Commission determines that the satellite launch milestone requires both the launch and operation of two NGSO satellites.
